Mom settles for $2.8 million.

Very important to not be perceived as the bad guy.

Police officer who killed hero thought removing the magazine from bad guys rifle was reloading.

The lawsuit charged that Brownlow and the other two officers “cowered” in the substation, “choosing self-preservation over defense of the civilian population” before Brownlow saw Hurley with Troyke’s gun, opened the building’s door and shot Hurley from behind after deciding against giving a warning first.

From what I've heard about this the family absolutely deserves the money.

Paul Howe doesn't recommend using a long gun to deal with active shooters for reasons like what occurred here. You can't conceal a long gun, and unslinging a rifle is problematic in that kind of situation.

That said, going up against an active shooter with a handgun wouldn't be my first choice either. The AR-15 worked just fine stopping the mass attack in Southerland Springs.

That stinks. Hats off to the good Samaritan for doing the right thing! I tell my students to reholster/conceal at the first opportunity, but he may not have had the chance. Sad.
